Microplastic Ingestion by Zooplankton [PDF]
Environmental Science & Technology, 2013 Small plastic detritus, termed "microplastics", are a widespread and ubiquitous contaminant of marine ecosystems across the globe. Ingestion of microplastics by marine biota, including mussels, worms, fish, and seabirds, has been widely reported, but despite their vital ecological role in marine food-webs, the impact of microplastics on zooplankton ...

Advection and zooplankton fitness [PDF]
Sarsia, 1998 Successful adaptation to the environment by zooplankton is constrained by the agents of mortality (starvation, predation) and losses due to advection.

Statistical Mechanics of Zooplankton
PLOS ONE, 2015 Statistical mechanics provides the link between microscopic properties of many-particle systems and macroscopic properties such as pressure and temperature. Observations of similar "microscopic" quantities exist for the motion of zooplankton, as well as many species of other social animals.

Mechanism of barotaxis in marine zooplankton
eLife, 2023 Hydrostatic pressure is a dominant environmental cue for vertically migrating marine organisms but the physiological mechanisms of responding to pressure changes remain unclear. Here we uncovered the cellular and circuit bases of a barokinetic response in the planktonic larva of the marine annelid Platynereis dumerilii .

The Zooplankton of Msikaba Estuary [PDF]
Zoologica Africana, 1976 Stratification is well developed in Msikaba estuary and has a major influence on the distribution of the zooplankton. The oligohaline zooplankton component does not become well established, while marine zooplankton organisms penetrate relatively far up the estuary in the high salinity bottom waters.

Remote sensing of zooplankton swarms [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractZooplankton provide the key link between primary production and higher levels of the marine food web and they play an important role in mediating carbon sequestration in the ocean. All commercially harvested fish species depend on zooplankton populations.

Acoustic classification of zooplankton [PDF]
ICES Journal of Marine Science, 1995 Accurate acoustic characterization of zooplankton species is essential if reliable estimates of zooplankton biomass are to be made from acoustic backscatter measurements of the water column. Work on the forward problem has resulted in the identification of three categories of scatterers, represented by theoretical scattering models [Stanton etal., ICES

The physiology of polar marine zooplankton [PDF]
Polar Research, 1991 The polar marine environment is characterised by low stable temperatures with seasonal variations ranging from ±3°C at lower latitudes to only ±0.2°C at high latitudes. The Arctic basin is dominated by multi-year ice. whereas the Antarctic is subject to large seasonal changes in the cover by annual sea ice.

Perspectives on marine zooplankton lipids [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2007 We developed new perspectives to identify important questions and to propose approaches for future research on marine food web lipids. They were related to (i) structure and function of lipids, (ii) lipid changes during critical life phases, (iii) trophic marker lipids, and (iv) potential impact of climate change.
